King2Hearts is an amazing drama for people who want some kind of action put into a great twisted and turned story and awesome soundtrack to actually make you feel the tension. The cast is mind blowing, especially the villain doing the best acting. The plot is quite amazing, the way its directed for us is beautiful. Whoever wrote the story for this series, is a genius. The action and romance filled with complications of being from rival country. They portrayed a great underlying scene of the marriage of The South Korean prince to A North Korean Military Officer.
Lee Seung Gi and Ha Ji Won have always been strong at acting. Seung Gi's ''My Girlfriend is A Gumiho'' was okay, but in this he definitely proves himself as an actor. Music's completely hooking with the "political" background plot. Re watch Value for me is quite high as I would love to watch it over again, when no interesting dramas premiere.
Overall, its good if you want to sit on your chair and flow with the story as it unfolds, translation : It keeps you hooked to your place! ;)

apart from being a supernatural movie, this drama has some comedy to it esp when it comes to the director and woong ah's aunt. he had a signature look his trenchcoat, glasses, toothpick and walk. when those two tried to interact it was the funniest thing. no min woo is mirror mirror on the wall, whos the fairiest of them all. and wats up with the specific music evrrrrrry time they showed min woo, hes too beautiful. i really loved the chemistry of the two it felt natural. seung ki may not be as good looking but hes a great actor mainly coz hes so good with emotional expressions and shin min ah was awsome too i even thought sometimes she was a gumiho. very funny and interesting show and the last episode i couldnt help but ball out soo emotional. the ost was also great and made it fun to watch.

This was a drama that I thought was okay, I ended up skipping over a lot. It is the first drama in which I have suffered from second-male lead syndrome.

Here it's not that the second male lead just stood by and watched either, he was straight-forward and acted on his feelings honestly from the beginning - it was the first male lead that took the longest time to say anything. That was a nice change, but the ending I think was what made me rate this drama lower that what it really could have and deserved to have been.

I think it suffered from an overall cliché storyline. I kind of knew exactly what was going to happen, even though there was ample opportunity to amp it up. I don't think it needed to be too much - the simple underdog storyline was nice, but personally I wished they hadn't played into the love triangle too much, or made it so serious towards the end.

They turned Addie/Eddie (Who happened to be my favourite character in this drama) into a shell of his former self. I enjoyed the fact that he was ambitious enough to aim for a higher job so that he wouldn't have to do 'bad' things any more, or make up an ad he didn't agree with - but in essence had to in order to get anywhere in the industry.

In contrast to that, we see Lee Tae Baek, who is the underdog and works really hard. I liked his character, his kindness was endearing and it was a nice change from the typical jerky leading man.

In that sense, I think Addie/Eddie was more realistic in terms of a character, I don't think you can go through life always doing 'the right thing' and then eventually succeeding. I think that in some cases some means justify an end - and in this case, doing something bad for the sake of a better future on the whole may work out well, which was the original intention for the character.

I really liked Baek Ji Yoon, she was straight-forward and not wishy-washy with her feelings from the beginning, however again towards the end I think her just going along with everything, it didn't suit her character and all it did was make me sympathise more with the second male lead - when I should have been rooting for the first male lead.

I believe the acting was pretty good all-round, nothing outstanding, but then again the story didn't call for extremes with emotions.

In terms of chemistry, my personal belief is that Addie/Eddie and Baek Ji Yoon had the best chemistry pairing wise - especially romantically, but I won't deny that Lee Tae Baek and Ji Yoon also had some sparks.

Overall an okay drama, I wouldn't re-watch again but it's okay on first watch. It has heart and warmth, but I still think there was something missing to make it really spectacular.

I am happily watching one after another of these early 2000's Japanese dramas! This was truly a unique story and did remind you in some ways Notting Hill but the two lead actors we just wonderful together. I am slowly learning what I have been missing. Even though the romances are very toned down, I think the romance is stronger in just the conversations, the looks and the actors feelings as they portray them. I thoroughly enjoyed this drama from beginning to end. There was a time I wanted to choke Sousuke in his ultimate noble idiocy sacrifice but would this be any different than other dramas? I think not. But with only 11 episodes, it will be a quick but enjoyable watch.

This show was an interesting and cute watch. While it is episodic, the viewers feel compelled to keep watching because of a single background mystery which is counting down to the show's climax. The characters are amusing and one could easily say the series mostly is putting a set of foils into different situations and seeing what occurs between the characters.

The main con that I had with this show is that occassionally it just fell flat. The acting, the script, or the pacing tended to be at fault--and I usually blame the pacing. Because the show's running time is short and the series is episodic, I always felt as though things did not get to develop "naturally", and it bothered me.

That aside, I still give this show an overall rating of 7, because the overarching plot and characters were interesting.

Fate, whether something is meant or not meant to be. This drama truly was brilliant in portraying the theme... Fate. I had been contemplating watching this drama because I didn't read into it enough. I thought it looked silly and unoriginal and I have never been so wrong. This drama is filled with so much betrayal, angst, love and longing: It was expressed in such a beautiful and realistic yet fantasy-filled masterpiece. Indeed I had never been a fan of history meeting modern day dramas, this drama was so much more. The acting by all of the cast was phenomenal, those who you were supposed to love you loved and those that were supposed to be hateful I can say I truly hated. The music was beautiful but somewhat repetitive but other than that it was a wonderful privilege to be able to watch something so creative and emotional. The comedy was hilarious as well and was neatly placed in just the right amounts. The ending definitely made everything worth it, although I prefer a bit more of a complete ending like in all the old princess tales I realize that when it comes to true wonder and the reader and watchers own longing for that it makes the piece much more praiseworthy. This was an absolute beautiful tale and I give it a 10. Romance and comedy lovers will definitely like this drama but I find that it is not as light as I thought it would be
so if you are extremely sensitive.. I'd watch it over a period of time. I hope this review helped. :D

I'm having love/hate feelings for this drama. There are so many scenes that are funny, cute, and enjoyable. I even understand the last four episodes that were necessary for Fu An and Da Feng to have a truthful relationship. I understand the character development and totally get why Da Feng acts the way he does. What bothers me is all the time the director spent on all of the other characters. The last episode just drove me crazy. I would have preferred to see Fu An and Da Feng's relationship after all the adversity they had to go through, but instead I had to see closure on stories that I really didn't give a crap about. There are so many things I would change also. How can that conniving, hateful Zhen Zhen get any happiness??? Ok...I will stop, because we can't post spoilers. I will just say that the story doesn't suck, but it isn't the greatest I have ever seen either.

The acting was really good. So many people have problems with Lan Blue, but I think he is a really expressive actor and I enjoyed his portrayal of Da Feng. I thoroughly enjoyed Chen Joe's performance as Fu An also. She was feminine and tomboyish, smart and naive. Totally well done!!! I loved the aunt and uncle. They were too funny. I also enjoyed Chiu Roy as Dong Jie and Xiu Jie Kai as Yan Yang. They are good actors and eye candy.

I liked the music.

I probably won't ever rewatch this.

If you like romantic angst, then I think you would enjoy this drama.

For all you girls out there waiting for new cute actors, Flower Boy Series are a great satisfaction. I can tell so, because I am one. So, Flower Boy Next Door, the third installment of the Flower Boy Series has a predictable story line and it starts sulking out after realization of love and the soundtrack adds only up to fair liking. Will I like to watch it again? Oh, ofcourse. Not in a very crazy way but when I wanna look back to old comedies I watched and probably when I wanna laugh on cuteness again.
Overall,the drama has done excellent due to the cast. Even though the story is somewhat fussy, what makes you watch till the last episode is the acting and the comedy! Yoon Shi Yoon has done an incredible job by feeling his character and portraying it amazingly.The "Ajumma!!!" call out was a bliss! His acting is the best part. The second lead is quite good too doing all the serious and comedy scene side by side. Dong Hoon, is tall with right amount of height and style statement. And well Watanabe Sir is a great cook by which people in the neighborhood got along.
Coming to Park Shin Hye, I have always liked her. Apart from her child actor roles, she's been doing this cheerful roles but in this she comes out very differently by acting like a girl who is traumatized by her past and is scared to face the world. Doing the right amount of actions, the actress surely challenges her profession.

The comical acting of the cast makes this serial light and fun loving. Atleast watch it once. Because its medium. Not that serious, not that funny. Just medium, meaning a safe journey.

I only saw glimpse of the anime but it got me to watch the movie itself. I like the story, the flash backs explaining the current situations, the pacing is good too, it made me ask for more and I like how they show the details of treating someone under the knife. It may have some people puke, but it is not exaggerated so guys take it easy hehe..

I didn't seem remember the any music play on so I rate it low. The female lead and black jack did a good acting, however black jack seems have the gooey look, I mean, the role is serious but I felt like he's acting cute LOL, but still I was able to focus on the good story and I was able to see who is his rival on the first few scene.

Over all, I like it and I will watch the anime, hopefully got more time.

This is definitely the oldest drama I've ever watched but I must say I felt right at home watching it. From the beginning to the end, I just loved the characters and their interactions. I think viewers of a certain age would appreciate this more than others. As I watched, it solidified my fandom with Kimura Takuya, what an actor. Imagine my surprise to see this was Yamaguchi Tomoko's last role. I loved her character's perkiness and willingness to bounce back after her break up. The supporting characters also brought so much to the drama. And thankfully totally devoid of the usual drama cliques!! I loved that the most about this drama!! Again, it's not for everyone. Not one cell phone in the story!! It was great!
